Comms blackout is lifted. We dropped off a good two-hundred-and-fifty or so of Navarro's non-essential personnel. They'll be catching transit into house space. We're still over crowded. A solution is underway, but nothing is set in stone yet.
As such, give me an update on The Cincinnati, your crews status, and anything that might be relevant. Once thats all done, I should have something for you.
Well! You're just in time! Good ol' Initiative contracting got us parts and we got the entire ship all patched up. *Maverick raises his hands, showing them both wrapped up in light gause* Also got into it with the reader. But we solved the lockout. The ship is completely combat ready. Oh... Speaking of combat ready. Stevens, send over the comm log. "Yes sir." We were found by a bloke named Joker. Poking around for information while I was trying to get her bypassed. Sylus told 'em. You'll see it in the logs. We also fooled a Gallic. I don't know how. But it was close.
*as you read the message a side screen opens up with a recording of the speech between them.*
":Joker:": Still 0 vision.
[BG]-Dozerua.Zozen: Yes.
":Joker:": Is that...
The.Cincinnati: Mav: Is that what, Pilot?
":Joker:": An overlord.
The.Cincinnati: Mav: Aye, It is.
":Joker:": Ah. I have heard about this ship.
The.Cincinnati: Mav: we must be well known, I presume.
":Joker:": Nah. I just hear a lot of things around.
[BG]-Dozerua.Zozen: Well known and feared.
":Joker:": Contacts and all...
The.Cincinnati: Mav: Well known and feared, Don't lie to us.
":Joker:": We are not liars.
The.Cincinnati: Mav: We know better right boys? *The crew laughs and cheers.
":Joker:": Ah... This makes me remember my ship.
[BG]-Dozerua.Zozen: Aren't we looking for someone?
":Joker:": Yea...I forgot.
":Joker:": What was his name...
":Joker:": Hey Mr. Captain.
The.Cincinnati: Mav: Yesm?
":Joker:": I would be looking for a guy Austin Pierce. I had been tracking him a bit but he fell of the grid.
The.Cincinnati: Mav: *chuckles* Well. That name rings a hole in my neck. Doesn't it, Sy?
The.Cincinnati: Sylus: More ways than one, Mav.
":Joker:": I am sensing a story here....
[BG]-Dozerua.Zozen: Pierce on a IMG base?
":Joker:": No..
":Joker:": Pierce everywhere.
The.Cincinnati: Mav: Do you mean Augustin?
[BG]-Dozerua.Zozen: Well .. cheap drinks.
":Joker:": Aye.
":Joker:": He had people rolling around not to long ago.
The.Cincinnati: Mav: Hm. Hm-hm. *Maverick chuckles slightly* Sylus you tell him while I deal with these wires.
The.Cincinnati: Sylus: Sure thing. We know who he is alright. And we know what happened to him. First. You gotta tell us who you are, 'lancer.
":Joker:": I aint a "'lancer"
":Joker:": I was...How should I put it.
[BG]-Dozerua.Zozen: We both aren't.
[BG]-Dozerua.Zozen: Someone special?
":Joker:": That is not going to get us answeres man.
":Joker:": We are The Blackguard.
The.Cincinnati: Sylus: Mav, you heard of the black guard?
":Joker:": We were The Order's special wing but we went rogue 5/6 years ago.
The.Cincinnati: Sylus: Uh-huh. Go on.
":Joker:": Now we are a group of nomad hunters, brokers, mercenaries and other crew looking to bring those blobs back to where they~
":Joker:": belong
The.Cincinnati: Sylus: Bringing them to where they belong? Meaning on some planet burried and forgoten?
":Joker:": Nah...
[BG]-Dozerua.Zozen: Burning in hell..
":Joker:": A graveyard.
":Joker:": And what he said.
[BG]-Dozerua.Zozen: Thats where they belong.
The.Cincinnati: Sylus: So. You're against the blue jellied abominations?
[BG]-Dozerua.Zozen: Yes.
":Joker:": And their supporters.
The.Cincinnati: Supporters of nomads that want nomads dead. That makes little sense.
":Joker:": Outcasts, Wild, Oracle and The Comune.
":Joker:": And I smell trouble.
The.Cincinnati: GAH! *Loud crackle and static is heard shortly after*
":Joker:": Everything alright in there?
[BG]-Dozerua.Zozen: What the ..
The.Cincinnati: Mav: Damn these consoles. Jims, C'mere. Give me a hand.
The.Cincinnati: Sylus: We had a core malfunction. Liberty Navy locked us out. Now we're working on fixing that with a bypass.
[BG]-Dozerua.Zozen: Seems like you need a overhaul.
The.Cincinnati: Sylus: So you're friends of the Commune, outcasts and such, or enemies?
":Joker:": Enemies.
The.Cincinnati: Sylus: Good to hear th*Static*t you.
[BG]-Dozerua.Zozen: Arent Outcasts getting their brain washed by nomads already?
The.Cincinnati: Mav: Almost got 'er. 9, what's the read?
[BG]-Dozerua.Zozen: They consume too much cardamine ..
The.Cincinnati: *-*Coming up fault. Try another.
":Joker:": That is the new core isn't it?
The.Cincinnati: Mav: Blasted pieces of junk. No. It's the same one. The old cards were locking us out of the main core. Trying *grunts and-
The.Cincinnati: struggles with the mainframe* to rid this *uurgh* of that problem.
":Joker:": Hold on...
[BG]-Dozerua.Zozen: Well seems you need a overhaul really..
[BG]-Dozerua.Zozen: It was very short on my scanners..
":Joker:": Show yourself pilot. We know you are here.
The.Cincinnati: Mav: We already got most of the main repairs done. Just this last batch and the Nasty 'nati would be ready for combat.
The.Cincinnati: Sylus: Ganes, You see what that blip was?
[BG]-Dozerua.Zozen: Hehe .. the Nasty'nati..
[BG]-Dozerua.Zozen: Its back on my scanners ..
The.Cincinnati: Ganes: It was a Gallic tagged sir.
[BG]-Dozerua.Zozen: 13k away.
":Joker:": There...
":Joker:": I knew it.
GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: [muttering] -see three feet in front of me in this damn cloud.
":Joker:": Can we be heard from that ship?
[BG]-Dozerua.Zozen: I hate those clouds aswell.
The.Cincinnati: Ganes: I assume so, pilot. If they're on our scanners, they're more than likely within earshot.
The.Cincinnati: Ganes: Depending on that cloud's density.
[BG]-Dozerua.Zozen: Seems like he wont come closer.
The.Cincinnati: Sylus: Cap, we best hurry it up.
The.Cincinnati: Mav: I'm trying Sy. Give me a cod-flabbed minute.
GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: [she sighs]
GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: And I was just starting to be happy about having nothing to do.
[BG]-Dozerua.Zozen: Target comes cloers ..
[BG]-Dozerua.Zozen: //closer*
":Joker:": Anything interesting?
[BG]-Dozerua.Zozen: Just a Gallic Royal Navy ...
":Joker:": Oh well.
The.Cincinnati: Mav: Bring the shield online, I should be alright.
GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: What are you two - three, even - radar blips doing out here in the middle of nowhere?
The.Cincinnati: Sylus: You sure sir?
[BG]-Dozerua.Zozen: Nothing to bother you with..
The.Cincinnati: Mav: yeah, Least I get is a shocking experience.
The.Cincinnati: Sylus: Alright, Bring up the Graviton.
GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: Actually, it usually is something to bother me with.
GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: Ever since the Oblique did- well, what it did.
The.Cincinnati: deck 3: Graviton charging. Online.
[BG]-Dozerua.Zozen: I dont remember harm any of your Gallic citizen.
":Joker:": Well your shields are going up well Cincinnati.
GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: I never said you had.
GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: What's that you jokers have back there? Some kind of transport?
GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: Your IFF transponder's scrambled.
[BG]-Dozerua.Zozen: Err...
[BG]-Dozerua.Zozen: A transport.. yes.
":Joker:": We like it scrambled.
[BG]-Dozerua.Zozen: Old and rusty.
The.Cincinnati: Mav: Really old.
The.Cincinnati: Sylus: really rusty.
GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: [sounding bored] Uh-huh.
GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: Strange place to park a transport.
":Joker:": Everywhere is a strange place to be.
GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: You like the 37 jump anomaly, do you?
":Joker:": I did not noice that there.
":Joker:": Gas field an all... I don't have the time to look at my map.
GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: [she chuckles] Okay, fair point. I have a map to follow.
The.Cincinnati: Mav: Do enjoy! Watch out for rocks.
GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: Really? You get used to the double vision pretty quick.
GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: I know how to dodge a rock.
":Joker:": I like a clean flight.
[BG]-Dozerua.Zozen: Who doesnt like them ..
The.Cincinnati: Sylus: Not when you see it within 3 feet of your craft. That can be hard to avoid.
":Joker:": So. Mr. Captain. I would really like to know what happened to Mr. Pierce.
GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: [she chuckles] Oh, wait, wait. Now I get it.
GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: You guys are some kind of Guild survey team, right?
":Joker:": *laughs*
":Joker:": *gets serius* no.
GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: GMS squeezing you guys out?
[BG]-Dozerua.Zozen: GMS?
[BG]-Dozerua.Zozen: You serious?
GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: Uh, yeah?
The.Cincinnati: Mav: *Mumbles inaudibly just off the comms from under the paneling*
":Joker:": Come again? I did not hear a thing.
The.Cincinnati: Sylus: 9, Let us know if we trigger somet**** Radio goes blank and appears the ship has failed.
The.Cincinnati: *4* Secondary generators online. What happened?
The.Cincinnati: Mav: Crossed the wrong wire.
":Joker:": You went FUBAR.
The.Cincinnati: Mav: 17 million combinations here, narrowed down to about 10 thousand.
The.Cincinnati: Mav: You'd think I know better.
GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: Sounds like you have a problem.
[BG]-Dozerua.Zozen: Sounds like fun down there Mav.
GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: Bad place to get lost.
The.Cincinnati: Mav: Sylus, I"m taking a break. *Maverick walks off and away to the quarters, wiping sweat off his brow.
The.Cincinnati: Sylus: Well. Now a better time than ever. You gents seem like you're in the same boat as us as far as goals.
":Joker:": We do work together.
The.Cincinnati: Sylus: Augustin Pierce was the gent who helped the us get out of Liberty along with Battlegroup Auxesia.
":Joker:": Oh?
[BG]-Dozerua.Zozen: Seems like Raven didnt lost her mind.
":Joker:": We will see that soon enough.
":Joker:": Z. i need to run through some contacts.
":Joker:": Be nice and stay here with the man and learn about Pierce.
":Joker:": I bid you farewell my friends. Z. when you are done meet me on the station.
[BG]-Dozerua.Zozen: He must be around somewhere.
[BG]-Dozerua.Zozen: Allright.
2016-01-18 22:56:16 SMT Traffic control alert: ":Joker:" has requested to dock
[BG]-Dozerua.Zozen: Farewell.
[BG]-Dozerua.Zozen: Safeskies Gallic pilot.
GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: [sighing] Uh-huh.
GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: -Man-, are the deep Taus boring.
The.Cincinnati: Sylus: Well. The thing is about pierce... He was killed.
[BG]-Dozerua.Zozen: What?
[BG]-Dozerua.Zozen: When?
[BG]-Dozerua.Zozen: Where?
The.Cincinnati: Sylus: The man had set a firing sequence on a prototype ship, which ended up in the ships destruction. Pierce tried to kill
The.Cincinnati: the man on it by doing so.
[BG]-Dozerua.Zozen: God damn Pierce ..
The.Cincinnati: Sylus: We made *ehem* a stop somewhere. When we got there, Pierce had been shot in the neck. Can't say who. But I'd
The.Cincinnati: venture a guess it was the guy who Pierce tried to kill.
[BG]-Dozerua.Zozen: I hope for this guy he is somewhere far far away.
[BG]-Dozerua.Zozen: Thats bad news .. really bad news.
GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: Sounds like you guys have the most eventful mining in the whole sector.
The.Cincinnati: Sylus: Do tell. Why is that bad?
The.Cincinnati: Sylus: Very eventful.
[BG]-Dozerua.Zozen: He was a good friend and old comrade.
[BG]-Dozerua.Zozen: Anyways.
[BG]-Dozerua.Zozen: I have to tell this to Joker.
The.Cincinnati: Sylus: You do so. We'll be back to work on this piece.
The.Cincinnati: Sylus: Captain you ready to try and finish'er?
[BG]-Dozerua.Zozen: I will meet him at the station, farewell and good luck Mav with your Nast'nati.
The.Cincinnati: Mav: Indeed. Take care.
[BG]-Dozerua.Zozen: Safe skies.
2016-01-18 23:01:40 SMT Traffic control alert: [BG]-Dozerua.Zozen has requested to dock
GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: You know, if Singapore's crews are having trouble with that thing, I could always call you a rep boat or something.
GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: [wryly] I don't mean to intrude on Guild business, but you sound a little stuck.
GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: They could even fix your transponder for you, though I imagine there'd be a fine. You know how it is.
The.Cincinnati: Mav: Nah, We got it. Engines are fine. Just having some powercore issues. Transponder is next on the list.
The.Cincinnati: Mav: Got a hefty crew of 200 all working on it ourselves.
GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: Sure. Don't let anyone else see you with it scrambled like that. [she chuckles]
GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: Two hundred?
GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: What model is that thing?
GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: Mind if I take a look?
The.Cincinnati: Mav: *ahem* it's an old model. Nothing special.
GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: Pff. Sure.
GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: A Pilgrim, is it?
GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: I know all about those things.
The.Cincinnati: Mav: You know, some of the crew fom the yard is out and about. We only have maybe 20.
GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: The Gauls don't, of course, but they can't tell a Pelican from a Gull half the time.
GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: If it doesn't run on promethene, they aren't interested. Oh, no, not with Sirian technology.
The.Cincinnati: Mav: H-fuels being one of the most transported fuels on this side of the border.
GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: Yeah, well.
GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: They tried adapting Lynxes a few years back.
The.Cincinnati: Mav: did it work?
GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: Oh, yeah.
GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: I mean, insofar as -mine- worked.
GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: Then some other Legionnaire got herself killed after the plasma conduits went critical, and that's the end of that.
GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: Some lieutenant or another. Gabriel, or something.
The.Cincinnati: Mav: Doesn't ring a bell.
The.Cincinnati: Mav: Do I know a Gabriel?
GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: I doubt it.
The.Cincinnati: Sylus: Not that I'm aware of.
GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: I mean, unless you used to be Legion material - which I doubt.
The.Cincinnati: Mav: Hmm. No just standard Civilians.
GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: Although, now that I think of it, this isn't a bad place to go.
GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: Singapore exclusion agreement, ass end of nowhere...
The.Cincinnati: Mav: Quite the retreat. It's quiet.
GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: If I ended up skipping the Foreign Legion, I wouldn't rate this low. [chuckling]
GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: Yeah, it's quiet, but it's a hellhole.
GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: I can't even get a fix on my location, let alone anything else.
The.Cincinnati: Mav: The restrooms on board seem to be about as much. To be expected from Miners I guess.
GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: If Minato wasn't holding a nav beam for me, I'd probably just have to fly towards the sun until the clouds went away.
GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: Things were nicer before the Oblique had to go and... y'know, screw us over.
GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: Now, -someone- has to draw the short straw and spend hours flying through ice, ice, and more ice.
The.Cincinnati: Mav: I'd venture a guess. Everyone has a job and some of us are not that Lucky.
GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: [she sighs] I'm sorry if I'm rambling. I'm just so -bored-. You have no idea.
GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: I mean, it beats Leeds, but...
GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: -not by much, I guess.
The.Cincinnati: Mav: Mhmm. We've just been flyin' 'round ya know.
The.Cincinnati: Mav: Took a couple hits by some hostile parties. took out the engine and damaged the core.
The.Cincinnati: Mav: Now we're here. Getting her fixed up.
GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: Uh-huh. Yeah, I know how it is.
GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: I used to run a transport myself.
The.Cincinnati: Mav: You did too? How far ya go?
GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: Through the Taus to Bretonia and back.
GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: Back in the days of - well, I guess Leeds is -still- under siege - but when it was us doing it.
GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: I mean- wait- Kusari doing it.
GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: [she coughs]
The.Cincinnati: Mav: We've been around Sirius ourselves.
GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: Yeah?
GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: You're not some ex-Omicron types, are you?
The.Cincinnati: Mav: As a matter of fact, we came from -ehm- Omega's. We started in Liberty.
GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: Actually, if you were, you'd have told me by now. [she giggles] Never met an Omicroner who didn't big it up.
GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: And - yeah, right. Omegas. Never been, but I know of them.
GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: Same for Liberty, although I've been there. Kind of.
The.Cincinnati: Mav: It's quite the trip.
The.Cincinnati: Mav: Some nice scenery. All up and down the four houses outside of Gallia.
GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: Oh, yeah?
GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: Quite a tour.
The.Cincinnati: Mav: It sure was.
GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: Want a tip?
The.Cincinnati: Mav: Sure!
GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: Don't bother applying for a permit if you ever wanna see Gallia. I've seen the waiting list - and the reasons for denial.
GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: The old hole through Orkney's still there. Just run it.
GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: It's what I'd do, if I was still in the business.
GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: But, yeah. Don't bother with the bureaucracy.
The.Cincinnati: Mav: Good to know. We'll have to check it out. I hear it's real nice in Gallia. Lanes are different than the rest of Sirius.
GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: Sure, if you mean they're twisted ninety degrees.
GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: It's smarter, though, I'll give you that.
GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: -the hell? More radar blips?
The.Cincinnati: Mav: Seems there was another out there.
GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: Mmmh.
GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: Didn't look like it was flagged red, so - not my problem.
GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: Literally nothing out here but a Valor hiding somewhere... somewhere, anyway. I don't even know if it's in this cloud.
GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: That and Singapore, which I am very much not allowed to go near. [she coughs]
GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: Not like anyone else would think twice about trampling all over the Guild's wants and do-not-wants, but...
GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: Call it a difference between Gauls and Sirians, I guess.
The.Cincinnati: Mav: Again, the Diplomacy.
GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: Though I'd kill to know what model you're flying.
GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: But... not worth my job to look outside the cloud.
The.Cincinnati: Mav: It's ehm... It's a large class, Enterprise. It's an old Luxury Liner.
The.Cincinnati: Mav: That's about as descriptive as I can get.
GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: Oh, one of those?
GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: Yeah, I know what you mean.
The.Cincinnati: Mav: We're re-modeling it top and bottom. But we couldn't get to the yard we were destined for.
GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: One used to be shacked up in Edinburgh. Used to fly past it every so often.
GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: Then - well, you can guess what happened. It 'relocated'.
The.Cincinnati: Mav: For sure. Can't control everyone.
GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: Mmmhm.
The.Cincinnati: Mav: Well if you don't mind us. We got some work to do before we get this beast out of here.
GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: [she yawns] Yeah, yeah. I didn't mean to keep you or anything.
GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: I just get bored as hell out here, you know?
The.Cincinnati: Mav: We know the feeling. Either it's dull or you're being shot at.
GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: I should probably stop skirting the exclusion zone, though. Hey, if you don't tell anyone, neither will I.
GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: Oh, yeah. Tell me about it. Especially in the Navy.
The.Cincinnati: Mav: Our lips are sealed, Pilot. Say I never caught your name.
GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: With someone breathing down your neck, there's no time to talk.
GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: It's all 'yes, Commandant; no, Commandant; engaging on your wing, Commandant'.
GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: Yeah, yeah. I'll just copy paste my old patrol logs.
GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: Again.
The.Cincinnati: Mav: Seems they never pay attention to them.
GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: Who would? They never change.
GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: Like I said - dead end duty.
GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: Welcome to the Foreign Legion. [she laughs bitterly]
The.Cincinnati: Mav: *Maverick chuckles in return*
GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: Anyway, I won't keep you. Get that transponder fixed, though, or you really -will- run into trouble.
GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: Sayonara, captain.
The.Cincinnati: Mav: Take care pilot!
GRN|Katsuko.Komatsu: [sighing] Aaand - now for Thirty-Seven.
I'll also inform you that From This Valley is here with us and so is the Artemis. Again, Engines are repaired and the Core is functional. Wait till you see how we did it! As far as crew, The only members we should have on the ships is the ones designated for the ship's themselves. All of the crew from the stations were dropped off by us. At least, most of them. Either way. Once I'm done here with you, I'm going to contact the Guild Master of the Independent miners and thank them for their time. |Signal Lost|
Whoever he is and whoever he works for seem to be looking for ghosts. As far as the universe is concerned, I'm dead. Pierce is uh, actually dead. No loss. Stacker has been tailing him, and I've got bits from two conversations between two individuals, talking about the same thing.
In the meantime, good to see she's up and running again. I'll have to get a good look at her myself when I have the time. For now though, coordinates for surveying a new home have been sent to you over a private network. The Artemis will be joining you, mainly to keep an eye out for hostiles from either Point Delta or the general populace of the local houses. A full survey of the system in question would be better suited. Once thats done, we'll set course for your location, and figure out where to go from there.
Auxesia operates close by, so see what you can do to help them in combatting the Primary threat, should the need arise.
Alright! SO! Here's what we got for you. We've done our survey of Inverness. The only one seemingly habitable would be Foress. It's a pretty hot sucker. Hotter than Pierce's throat was. *Sylus chuckles in the background* Yeah you like that? *chuckles himself* Recommended somewhere in the poles. That's where it's the coolest. We also took a little trip out to Delta to see how the Valley was doing. Seems Ol' Walker took on a bit more than he could chew. On our way back to Inverness, this chap named Joker came around again. From what we know, He's part of the blackguard. A rogue core group from 5 or six years ago. He's against Nomads, Wild, Oracle, and The Comune. I'd venture he's against Outcasts too. Either way, here's a transmission log of what we talked about.
The.Cincinnati: Stevens: Freeport Eleven, this is the Cincinnati. We're requesting an open mooring point.
2016-01-24 20:12:47 SMT Traffic control alert: The.Cincinnati has requested to dock
The.Cincinnati: Mav: Joker, What a pleasant surprise.
[BG]-"Joker": Well I do work here.
[BG]-"Joker": It is my home...More or less.
[BG]-"Joker": What would you be doing here Mr. Mav?
The.Cincinnati: Mav: Well. We were checking on the Valley.
The.Cincinnati: Mav: They did us one time, figured we'd return the favor.
[BG]-"Joker": Interesting.
[BG]-"Joker": Heard there was a fight in Lost. What happened?
The.Cincinnati: Mav: Well. We think the core lost. Could still be going.
From.This.Valley: Walker: Order might just gain a foothold before we do. That battle was a disaster.
The.Cincinnati: Mav: Did that pilot inform you about Pierce?
[BG]-"Joker": Oh yes he did. Tragic...
[BG]-"Joker": A good connection with the rest of Sirius and he got shot. Just like that.
The.Cincinnati: Mav: Well. When you try to kill someone and you don't succeed. That ends up happening.
[BG]-"Joker": Who did he try to kill?
The.Cincinnati: Mav: A man named Joshua Hunt. Whome of which is dead now.
The.Cincinnati: Mav: Right, Walker?
[BG]-"Joker": Who was he?
From.This.Valley: Walker: Wouldn't know too much about the man.
The.Cincinnati: Mav: He was a living breathing case of drama.
[BG]-"Joker": I only heard once about him. Just the name though.
The.Cincinnati: Mav: *ahem* good to know he's dead though.
The.Cincinnati: Mav: That man costed us much more than just rank. He killed 160 of my men for what he thought was "right"
[BG]-"Joker": Let's hope that I won't be seeing ghosts again.
The.Cincinnati: Mav: What was this thing with Pierce going on?
The.Cincinnati: Mav: Can you at least fill us in?
[BG]-"Joker": I needed a man that would infrorm me of any nomad or Blackguard hostile activity.
The.Cincinnati: Mav: So, Pierce was to inform you about nomads moving in?
[BG]-"Joker": Not just nomads.
The.Cincinnati: Mav: But blackguard as well.
[BG]-"Joker": Anyone friendly To Blackguard or hostile to Blackguard.
[BG]-"Joker": See... I lead the Blackguard.
The.Cincinnati: Mav: and Blackguard is i guess, friends of ours.
[BG]-"Joker": Blackguard is friends with anyone who does not stand in our way or decides to fully support us.
The.Cincinnati: Mav: Indeed. I would attempt to contact the Initiative. See what we can offer.
The.Cincinnati: Mav: We're attempting to be front line of the Nomadic threat. So if you're on the same page, see what we can do about making-
The.Cincinnati: an alliance or friendly of some kind.
[BG]-"Joker": This could be a well put proposition.
The.Cincinnati: Mav: I can't tell you who to contact. But I can tell you that we don't like. Nomads.
The.Cincinnati: Ganes: Sir, Resonance was just picked up on the readings.
The.Cincinnati: Stevens: I heard that too. Recommend placing gunnars in yellow
[BG]-"Joker": They are everywhere these days.
Ash'nite: ***Ours***
The.Cincinnati: Mav: Stand down. We're not going to be here long.
From.This.Valley: Walker: Just a little one
The.Cincinnati: Mav: So that being said. I have some business to attend to.
The.Cincinnati: Mav: Pardon us, Black guard leader.
[BG]-"Joker": Safe skies. And please. Do contact me if you wish to do some dirt with us. We will try to provide assistance.
The.Cincinnati: Stevens: Freeport eleven, our appologies. Requesing that mooring point once more.

The.Cincinnati: Mav: we will, or you can contact us.
[BG]-"Joker": Of course.
What in the name of a Gallic is this bloke even talking about? Pierce tried to kill you, And he was an informant too? I'unno, Hunt. This guy may be trying to get in on us. Besides that. Nothing out of the blue. Just us and Artemis here. Junkers really know how to live out here! Under the radar and th... *inaudible talk comes from Maverick as he randomly gets up and walks off, Sylus briefly shown in the feed, as he cuts the transmission behind him.*
The rest of the fleet is moving to your location now. We'll begin setting up shop as soon as we arrive. Good work.
Now, for the uh, other half of this.
Pierce wasn't an informant. Especially since I've known him longer than anyone around. I have his file, and his journal. No mention of relations or communications at all, even through his neural net accounts. Pierce was money hungry, which is how I got him to sign on, but his ambition developed with his insanity. He paid the price when he tried to kill me, because thats pretty hard to accomplish.
Anyways, he's definitely lying. Stay sharp out there.
*The recording begins with Maverick peering into the camera from his quarters. Quite a serious expression, even though he's still got a smirk.*
Seems you need to re-think who your friends are, Hunt. Your boy just made it to our own watch list. I understand it's your day off and all, but you can address this with us later. Take an ear to this. This is a log of your pal, and an LSF agent.
[25.02.2016 19:23:27] =LSF=Kaylee.Sunderland: Well, that's curious.
[25.02.2016 19:23:39] SirLagsalot: Took you a while, huh.
[25.02.2016 19:25:04] Preparing to cloak...
[25.02.2016 19:25:21] SirLagsalot: It is cloaking, agent.
[25.02.2016 19:25:24] =LSF=Kaylee.Sunderland: So, what do we have here? A fugitive and an Order operative flying around like that.
[25.02.2016 19:25:28] SirLagsalot: Just in case you did not notice.
[25.02.2016 19:25:33] =LSF=Kaylee.Sunderland: And I see that it is cloaking.
[25.02.2016 19:25:40] =LSF=Kaylee.Sunderland: It's not like I can do much about it.
[25.02.2016 19:25:55] SirLagsalot: That's what i am saying.
[25.02.2016 19:26:05] Cloaking device on
[25.02.2016 19:26:06] The.Cincinnati: Mav: Into the Railroad, Gents. Underground is where we need...
[25.02.2016 19:26:26] =LSF=Kaylee.Sunderland: Besides, I think that I already got an interesting guncam shot.
[25.02.2016 19:26:41] SirLagsalot: Still, took you a while.
[25.02.2016 19:26:42] =LSF=Kaylee.Sunderland: Which is more than I could count on.
[25.02.2016 19:27:08] The.Cincinnati: :: Inaudible chatter ::
[25.02.2016 19:27:09] SirLagsalot: You could have tried being slightly more active about it.
So. As I'm sure you can guess. Based off this, He called the Agent to us. Probably Compromising the Cincinnati by doing so. An act like this, He's now on the Cincinnati's wanted list, even if he is *Puts up air quotes* "Your friend." Enjoy your day of, Hunt. We'll have a talk later...
